[QUOTE="GA Sheephunter, post: 2862559, member: 102497"] Below is for the 140 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip @ 2647 fps MV, which is a fairly mild load for the 7mm-08. So at 500 yards you are still exceeding the manufacturers minimum velocity (of 1800 fps) for expansion by 129 fps, and actually are carrying 1800 all the way to 600. Over 300, what concerns me most is wind. [ATTACH type="full"]479014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]479013[/ATTACH] I really don't want to shoot past 300 if I can help it, but if conditions are right, and I feel confident in the shot, I want to have the option.
